to think good I hope Paul Hollywood does leave it

Once a cheater always a cheater, he ditched his wife to shag the other host on American bake off. He's not the type of person that should be involved in a family show.

Heres hoping for Jamie

What sanctimonious twattery...?! OP, are you seriously suggesting that people who cheat should no longer be allowed jobs on TV?

Fortunately, we have human rights legislation to protect us from that kind of witch burning thought process. But, still.

I'd quite like Ant and Dec!

Such a shame; another very good show about to be destroyed by greed.

Someone on TV has just suggested Ant and Dec. Dear God, I genuinely could not watch anything involving those two talentless buffoons.

^^
Ant & Dec would be a possibility. Bleurgh at the very thought

CatNip totally agree this is top gear all over again.

Op are you without sin if yes feel free to cast the first stone. If not mind your beeswax.

Honestly, Dame ? I think they are dreadful contrived and not very bright.

Channel 4 would get someone like the Chuckle Brothers in as presenters.

Also, even if PH's infidelity had anything to do with his ability to judge baked goods, surely he'd be right at home at the home of dodgy sex themed documentaries?

Jamie Oliver would be awful: "That pie is pukka, mah friend." No, just no.

Yep,I think they're great,love them on I'm a Celebrity

Ant and Dec are extremely talented and slick but not for bake off. They are far too clever to get involved in what will be a disaster without the original crew.

Jamie Oliver are you kidding?

Personal life irrelevant I just find him irritating.
Why does he say Mary's name every few words? "Mary, now this bread I've baked as an example is the most perfect bread Mary. Now Mary, try a piece Mary."

at If Paul and Mary go too, Channel4 will have paid £25 million for a tent and a bag of flour

When I grad this I instantly thought "Davina McCall". Who, IMVHO, would be terrible.

French and Saunders could be a good replacement I reckon!

Phil and Kirsty - they seem to be constantly on channel 4 anyway.

God no. Couldn't be doing with Dawn French gurning and roaring with fake laughter all over the place 🙄

JO brand?

Doesn't matter who goes on to do it..... It will nosedive and be axed after one series

It's the presenters they have now which make it so popular...... Not so much the actual baking or bakers

It would be all about French and Saunders if it was them. You need unobtrusive hosts. Gentle encouragement and support. Not LOOK AT MEEEEEE

I thought Nadiya was really good on her recent documentary. She's got a very relaxed manner which is delightful to watch

Most of the money is on Jo Brand.

Weren't Channel 4 rather stupid to buy the show but not lock in the presenters.

Ant and Dec are ITV presenters aren't they? So unlikely.

I think it's daft of the production company, not because it's Channel 4 but because a change in channel will mean a change of format.

Less time for a start because of the ad (the Irish Bake Off channel has ads, there's only two challenges per show - the Irish Bake Off is quite frankly a limp lettuce compared to the current British Bake Off on the BBC.

It's Mary, Paul, Mel and Sue who make it what it is. That's gone now and as I think it was fading slightly anyway then this is it.

Oh Jo Brand! Yes! Of course!

No it will nose dive like top gear.

People invest in the show as a whole and enjoy the gentle bi play between the presenters.

Goodbye bake off.
